Three More

Three more notable celebrities have entered immortality. Ellie Greenwhich, composer and lyricist from the 60s; penned some of the most beloved anthems of that time such as Chapel of Love, River Deep Mountain High. The Broadway musical Leader of the Pack used her songs to tell her story.

Dominick Dunne, author of crime dramas; he was also the father of actor/director Griffin Dunne and the late Dominique Dunne. She portrayed the eldest daughter in the first Poltergeist film.

Senator Edward M. Kennedy. The last of the Kennedys who spent a lifetime in service to our nation in the Senate. Who can forget his eulogy for this brother Robert- showing composure. The Kennedy family is the closest thing our nation has to a royal family.

Three incredible people from different walks of life. They remain with us in their songs, stories and political victories and defeats. May their lives inspire us to reach our full potential know that even though we are not celebrities, we do make a difference to those who love and surround us.

One last note...my sincere condolences to the family of my blog pal, Yellow Rose, on the loss of her mother, Mrs. Cardwell. I didn't know her personally, but my blog pal would recount stories of this mother, wife and amazing human being. Rest in peace, Mrs. Cardwell, Ellie, Dominick and Ted.
